Hands-on with the Apple Pencil Pro: A Game-Changer for Creatives
Last week, I had the opportunity to visit Apple’s Battersea HQ and get hands-on experience with the latest tech, including the Apple Pencil Pro. As an iPhone 16 convert, I was already familiar with Apple’s ecosystem, but I had been hesitant to try the new Apple Pencil Pro. After spending some time with it, I must say that I’m officially a convert.
Seamless Glide and Elite Pressure Sensitivity
What initially impressed me most about the Apple Pencil Pro was the seamless glide. The stylus’ weight and elite pressure sensitivity give you a natural feel, even when creating simple doodles or coloring in a Christmas sweater. I was surprised by how intuitive it was to use, and I found myself getting lost in the creative process.
Procreate: A Match Made in Heaven
After a quick crash course in Procreate, I was able to see the Apple Pencil Pro in its element. The agility and control it gives you when drawing are truly unmatched. With Procreate’s plethora of customization features, it’s easy to curate the exact texture, opacity, and size of your brush strokes. The Apple Pencil Pro and Procreate are a match made in heaven, and even for a first-time user like myself, I was impressed with how quickly I was able to pick up Procreate’s intuitive interface.
Procreate: A One-Time Purchase
In a time when creatives are getting frustrated with Adobe’s pricey subscriptions and controversial AI policies, Procreate’s appeal is increasingly clear. For a one-time purchase of $12.99, it’s a great creative platform for beginners. If you’re looking for more intensive software, Procreate Dreams features impressive animation and video production tools for meatier projects. Original Procreate remains a fan favorite for good reason – it’s sleek, unfussy, and beautifully intuitive.
Conclusion
The Apple Pencil Pro has won me over, and I can see why it’s generating so much buzz in the creative community. Its seamless glide, elite pressure sensitivity, and compatibility with Procreate make it a must-have for any creative looking to take their work to the next level.
